Richard was an avid fisherman and hunter.  He loved to teach his grandchildren and would take them hunting and fishing at any opportunity.  While living in Fort Myers, FL he started his own business; Rick’s Jigs, and would sell them to bait shops in the area.  Richard was well known on the Sanibel Fishing Pier and had many friends in Florida as well as Georgia and New York.  He will be so missed by many in his community and anyone who crossed his path considered him a friend.  He helped so many people and always had great advice.  His family and friends will miss him tremendously.

A memorial service in celebration of Richard’s life will be held in Florida and in Georgia at a later date.
